Operation

Before you can listen to the SIRIUS programming, you need to subscribe to the 
SIRIUS Satellite Radio service if you have not done so already. Please be sure to fol-
low the activation instructions for your specific SIRIUS radio instructions.
Once the Speaker Dock has been installed according to the installation directions, 
power on the Speaker Dock by pressing the 

Power/Volume

 knob on the front panel. 

The light on the front panel surrounding the knob should light up blue to indicate 
power is on. If the radio does not power on at the same time, press the power On/Off 
button on the radio.
You should now hear the SIRIUS audio. If you do not, increase the volume of the 
Speaker Dock by turning the 

Power/Volume

 knob clockwise (+).

If the light on the front panel surrounding the Power/Volume knob should turn red 
while the Speaker Dock is powered on, this indicates that the battery power is low. 
Replace the batteries.

Using the AUX Input

If you want to listen to an external audio device such as an MP3 player or CD player 
through the Speaker Dock, do the following:

Initially set the volume level on the audio device to mid-range.
Connect the output of the audio device to the 

aux in

 connector on the front 

panel of the Speaker Dock. Press the 

source

 button to select the AUX input.

Adjust the volume on the audio device to obtain satisfactory audio output from 
the Speaker Dock. If the sound is distorted, lower the volume level on the audio 
device and increase the volume level on the Speaker Dock.
